    Campout Plan B

    I was lucky enough to spend two days with some old friends from high school. Roy is an old hiking buddy from way back. We’ve been to the Porcupine Mountains and to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. I’ve seen him two or three times since I returned to Wisconsin, most recently about a year ago Read.

    fried at the muskie

    Meat People was serving a special fried chicken dinner this afternoon, so My Darling B and I quit our yard work early, cleaned up and headed over to The Muskellounge and Sporting Club to enjoy some delicious cold drinks while we waited for dinner to be served. It was well worth the wait. Read.

    Snuck out to Giant Jones for a couple of brews after work. Read.

  • sneaky

    I had a hankering for a big plate of tater tots after work, and the one place that serves the very best tater tots in town is the Vintage brewery, where they also happen to sell their very own house-made beer. We were lucky enough to drop in when they were serving the most delicious Read.

    After a long Friday banging away at the keyboard to (nearly) finish up the projects that have taken us all week to get through, it was finally time to clock out and start to enjoy the weekend a little bit. We went back to the Muskellounge and Sporting Club for a couple of beers and Read.

  • night out

    There was a special at the Muskellounge and Sporting Club last night: Meat People was selling three kinds of burritos out of a food truck in the parking lot and My Darling B wanted to eat at least one of them, so off we went. She had the beef burrito, I had the chorizo, and Read.

  • lockdown day 76

    The rest of the country might be open, but My Darling B and I are still in isolation here at Our Little Red House – 76 days as of today. That’s a lot of days to be isolated from everybody & everything. Full disclosure: It’s not like we’re hunkered down inside with the doors locked. Read.

    This is too much fun: And this is just plain cool: See more of Laura Kampf’s work here! Read.

  • new years eve

    I thought I would have to fire up the snow blower for the first time in 2019 when I woke up in the morning of the very last day of that year to a fresh snowfall. My snow blower’s gasoline engine is reluctant to start after it’s been sitting unused all summer, so I dressed Read.

  • not much how about you

    I spent the weekend with My Darling B doing pretty much nothing, and apparently we needed a weekend just like that because we slept like bears in hibernation. We didn’t do exactly nothing. We did, in fact, travel to Lake Mills, Wisconsin, to attend the twentieth anniversary party of the Tyranena Brewery (long may they Read.
